The War On Equality...A Man's Point of View - an Intro to a Multi-Part Series

Hello, Fellow Suffragettes and Suffragents!


I'M BACK!
Hey guys! Okay. I am now back in good form, my little one is feeling better, and I've actually got time to do some blogging!

I got great responses for my previous post about what I should write about next, but as I was trying to decide what I should write about next, I ended up with the perfect idea purely by accident...I had been on Twitter, and had copied some article to a fellow Tweeter. I ended up getting a response from a Men's Rights Twitter account. I ended up tweeting back and forth with them and they reminded me that in the middle of all this fighting for rights, we've concentrated on Women's Rights, Children's Rights, LGBTQ Rights, Health Rights, and on and on and on, but I really hadn't seen much in the news about Men's Rights. And that info should be out there just as much as all the other Rights, because at the end of the day, what we are all fighting for is HUMAN RIGHTS. On another blog site I previously ran, I had blogged about this before. So I definitely think it's time again.

This is my introduction to my multi-part series on this. I would LOVE feedback, especially as I start posting the actual notes. Please PLEASE know you are most welcome to comment in the section provided below, or, you can send me a Tweet at Krystinaj1 .

I've started the research. I was directed to a great site - which I'll mention as we get along in the series...I feel I should ask the moderators there if it's okay to post a link..Respect is necessary, for sure :)

I've been fortunate to come across some very nice people who are willing to take time out of their days to answer my questions...and correct me when I get something wrong. And with their permission, I will be sharing what they've told me throughout this series as well.

During this mission for information, I also encountered a lot of anger...cynicism..skepticism..even weariness..And as much as I don't know their individual stories, I do get it. In the fight for HUMAN RIGHTS, Men have been overlooked. Well, let's change that, shall we?

Obviously I realize that this blog will not change the world...but maybe someone will read it...and get the information they were looking for and realize that they are not alone, there is support out there, and it does get better.

Please know that I will never post anything without the person's permission, and if needed, a pseudonym can be used to protect identity. Pictures of my contributors are NEVER used. Even with permission...unless it's extremely important that the pic be used.

So, this is the topic I'll be concentrating on throughout the Summer...with some other Politics mixed in between.

Again, I would LOVE to hear from everyone about this! Please let me know your story, or if you have links to articles you feel would be important for me to include. I look forward to your comments!

*Please remember to be respectful...Information is necessary, but Trolls and Abusers will be dealt with Swiftly.

With the Utmost Respect,
